There shall be no breakage or deformation of any part during the test sufficient to prevent normal operation of the sliding closing device

5.2.2 Durability

Grades shall conform to EN 13126-1:2006, 4.3

Before the durability test:

The force/torque F1/M1 to operate the SCD shall be ≤ 20N / 2Nm when it is operated by finger or ≤ 30 N / 5Nm if it is operated by hand

 The SCD shall function correctly

After the durability test:

 The SCD shall continue to function correctly

 The position of reference for Distance between sash and frame (PRD) shall not vary by more than 2 mm,

in accordance with 7.2

5.2.3 Static load test

On completion of the static load test in accordance with 7.3, the SCD shall continue to function correctly

The sliding closing devices shall be fitted to a test rig as specified in EN 13126-1:2006, Clause 6, using a simulated casement or sash in accordance with the manufacturer’s fixing instructions (see Annex A, Figure A.1), with a minimum mass of 15 kg

If there is no fitting location in the manufacturer’s fixing instructions, mount the sample sliding closing device and keep it to the centre of the vertical rail of casement or sash

Gaskets, brush or others elements shall not be applied to the specimen, in order to assure the free movement

of the sash

7 Test procedures (methods)

7.1 Samples

According to the Annex C, three test samples shall be used for testing, as follows:

sample A – performance tests (complete set)

sample B – corrosion tests (fitting set)

sample C – retained for reference control (fitting set)

NOTE Sample B should only be necessary if no test report can be supplied by the manufacturer regarding the testing

of the hardware component or set in accordance with EN 1670

7.2 Durability test procedure

7.2.1 General

The test shall be carried out according to the following instructions:

Before the durability test shall be applied, firstly record the force F1 / torque M1 necessary to operate the sliding closing device and check the correct functioning (see Table 1)

Secondly shall be applied the force F2 (see Figure A.2) and measure and record the PRD (Position Reference Distance)

The durability test shall be implemented according to 7.2.2 or 7.2.3

After the durability test, the force F1 / torque M1 necessary to operate the sliding closing device shall be applied again, this force shall be recorded and the correct functioning shall be checked (see Table 1)

Force F2 (see Annex A, Figure A.2) shall be applied again and measure and record the position reference distance (PRD)

The SCD shall be lubricated in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation and maintenance instructions unless the hardware is claimed to be maintenance-free

7.2.2 Implementation test for SCD manual action

NOTE For the realization of this test, it will not be necessary for the displacement (movement) of the sash, for what the test will only validate the correct operation of the mechanism of SCD

The SCD shall be operated for lock and unlock for the cycles number according the grade to test at a rate of

250 cycles /h +025 cycles / h

7.2.3 Implementation test for SCD Automatic action

For the realization of this test it will be necessary the displacement (movement) of the sash, a distance of

200 mm with a rate of 250 cycles /h +025 cycles / h

The test cycles on the test specimen shall consist of the following movements:

 initially, the sash shall be in the closed position (SCD locked);

 the SCD shall be unlocked;

 the sash shall be moved into the open position (200 mm);

 the SCD shall set free;

 the fall of the test mass shall be the cause of the displacement of the sash to the closed position (SCD shall be in the locked position)

The test mass shall be connected by a cable to the test specimen near the window SCD The cable length shall be selected so that the test mass comes to a halt 20 mm before the sash reaches its final position and locks the hook into the keeper

7.2.4 Acceptance criteria

Some marking of the SCD as a result of the falling test mass shall be deemed to be acceptable

After the durability test the SCD shall function correctly, according to the following criteria:

The force F1 / torque M1 to operate the SCD shall be ≤ 20 N / 2 Nm when it is operated by finger or

≤30N / 5Nm if it is operated by hand

The variation on PRD before and after the durability test shall be ≤ 2 mm

7.3 Static load test

Apply static load F3 = n x 200 N +010 for 60 s +010 (see Annex A, Figure A.3), in the intermediate position among the SCD’s locking points

Key:

n: number of locking points

NOTE In the case of SCD with multipoints, the application of the force of nx 200 N, can be split up in n forces, applying a force of 200 N in the vicinity of each closing points

During this time, the sash shall be closed

After the static load test the SCD shall function correctly

7.4 Corrosion resistance

NOTE 1 This test is necessary if the manufacturer cannot provide a test report in accordance with EN 1670

All corrosion tests shall be on original new samples For Zinc galvanized surfaces on iron or steel, the specified thickness of 12 µ (class 3) or 16 µ (class 4) is not necessary if other surface protection methods are used to conform to the requirements (Minimum time to formation of white corrosion products) of ISO 4520 (µ

= micrometer)

Unless a test report can be provided by the manufacturer, the hardware shall be tested in accordance with

EN 1670

NOTE 2 The evaluation of the corrosion resistance is limited to the essential areas (as a rule, the visible surfaces of the

installed hardware)

Exempt from the corrosion resistance evaluation are:

 areas with rivets;

 locations of later processing (for example: cleaved surfaces that result from cropping the hardware components, millings etc.);

 non surface-treated parts/surfaces, provided they are not in the visible vicinity of the hardware (for example: screw guide-holes made of zinc die-cast etc.);

 welding joints and their immediate surroundings
